Hi rcrsn51. I thought I'd try out slacko 5.3.3 and am having problems getting the oki C3400 to print. The download/ install of file listed on page 1 seemed to go ok. Also tried foo2xxx icm-1.0.pet. CUPS does discover the printer on the network and it sends the job, oki lights seem to recognize the job and the job is listed by cups as being completed - but no actual printed page. I've tried restarting the printer and using various of the drivers listed after the 'continue' button is activated. I've tried monochrome and colour and various other default settings. Any ideas of what to try next? Thanks edit: this post is on pg 8_________________1. Dell Dimension E521, AMD Athln 64, 2 GHz 1.93GB ram,

This maybe the dumbest question ever. The user is what I log on when I start the Win2k machine - correct? Maybe to unsort this I should give the "Machine" something unique. There are too many "Ultimate"s in this puzzle. Thanks on the smbw. I didn't know where to look - now I do!

I'm not sure how to thank you but I really appreciate all the help you've given me._________________Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer.

"If you think that authentication is required, use
Code:
smbw://usename:password@workgroup/ultimate-d5b345/HPLaserjet-4

What messages do you get?"

The authentication code did the trick. It

It printed the test page - the only oddity was that not enough \ characters thing but after the test page it seems to have gone away.
Humm one more odd thing. Here is what CUPs thinks is the URI after I used the one you suggested
smbw://workgroup/ultimate-d7b349/HPLaserjet-4
The username:password appear to have evaporated? Odd....

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your tireless efforts to help noobs like me! This was at the "make me pull my own head off" stage._________________Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer.

In what other Puppy is this printer working? Is it also using the 2012.05.05 version of foo2xxx?

Earlier this year I got the printer working (monochrome) in Slacko 5.3.1. (never attempted to set up colour). It used the older version foo2xxx_rcrsn-2011.10.06.pet. I've already tried to use this file to overwrite the newer version with no luck. I hope I didn't screw things up!! Sometimes the 'discovered network printer' item is blank on the first 'modify' page, sometimes the c3400 is listed. The 'current connection' is always 'socket://192.168.0.4', which is the correct location. There's a list of driver/models in the 2nd 'Modify' page. I've tried a few but generally select the ZjStream foomatic printer/foo2zjs (en). When I enter the printer address in the URL bar and look at the OKI page, there is no indication of having received the test job despite a few blinking lights. Thanks._________________1.

Hello, rcrsn51,
I do appreciate your helping me recently to get my old PSC to scan after changing puppies.

All was well until yesterday when my older HP-4480 physically died. I just bought a newer version, HP Photosmart 5520. The printer installed easily, but the scanner is not found. OS is RacyNop-5.2.2 r1
